If terrorists were to torture you with a song being played continually over and over for 24 hours, what song would be the most torture for you?

Asked by rockfan (14632points) November 21st, 2021 from iPhone

For me, it would be “Lovin’ You” by Minnie Ripperton. Mainly because the vocal pitch changes are like nails on a chalkboard to me:

What about you? And why?

Who let the dogs out; It’s an annoying song.

“Baby” by Justin Bieber. That’s reason enough.

Anything rap or hip-hop would kill me.

“Polka your eyes out” by weird Al Yankovic. I don’t know why.

For me it would have to be something sad and depressing, I believe in a happy go lucky outlook on life. So two songs that would do it for me would be “Honey” , Bobby Goldsboro, or “Photographs and Memories” by Jim Croce. “Ok ok, I confess, I was a crappy husband and boyfriend! Shoot me, I can’t take it anymore”. LOL both of those songs would have me crying like a wuss and seriously offend my sense of machismo.

Any repeated song would be torture.

@Six video games must be a torture to you then ;)

I’m not a fan of Queen so anything by Queen would annoy me to no end.

@Mimishu1995
I don’t play any video games.

Mimishu1995's avatar

@Six that proves my point. Video games are a torture to you :)

Six's avatar

@Mimishu1995
I didn’t know they played songs.

Mimishu1995's avatar

@Six video games have music that loops indefinitely. So if you don’t like looped music you wouldn’t like listening to video games.

“What’s Up” by 4 non blondes
“Feliz Navidad” ( or most Christmas songs, but I really hate that one)

Smashley's avatar

Anything Martin or Sinatra. Too many bad memories.

Besides that, pure, tortuous music? Push th’ Little Daisies, Mmm Bop, anything by Melt Banana or Toby Keith.

Kropotkin's avatar

Sing a Song by The Carpenters.

^Thanks, now it’s stuck in my head. ~

Well, at least no one Rick Rolled us…

The absolute worst is the sound of a mosquito.

loonylune's avatar

“Friday” by Rebecca Black, only because I probably deserve it after attempting to get it stuck other people’s heads on Friday.

janbb's avatar

Another for me would be “Roxanne” by the Police. I like Sting but man do I hate that shrill song!

smudges's avatar

Popped into my mind right away:
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon

Funky Town

and a couple already mentioned. Nver heard or heard of Babyshark thank god!

Dutchess_III's avatar

NOOOOOOOO BABY SHARK!!!!

jca2's avatar

@smudges: Kind of reminds me of 2012 “Gangnam Style.” Very popular back in the day.

First time I heard Baby Shark I was subbing in an elementary school. Turned out to be kind of a free day. Students would rotate into various classrooms where they’d do activities. My classroom was slated to do….Baby Shark, with all the hand motions. I had to “sit through” that song SIX TIMES THAT DAY! I have never been the same since.
Do do do do. I sit and drool and go “do do do do do do do do.”

smudges's avatar

@jca2 That’s pretty bad, but not as bad as “The Wheels on the Bus”, imo. 8^P

I did, however, think it was cute when they were doing Grandma and Grandpa with their lips tucked in like no teeth.

I can just picture @Dutchess_III

RedDeerGuy1's avatar

10,000 bottles of beer on the wall would be very annoying.

Dutchess_III's avatar

It was cute. The first 2 times @smudges.

@rockfan

His original version has a whole different feeling. So much better… probably wouldn’t mind it on repeat for 24 hours.
